Friday Fun and local gig round up - Friday 7th November 2025

I'll start with a special advanced warning! I'll be on Rock Radio UK on Tuesday between 5-7pm on teh Griff Griffiths show. This will be a very special show, as it is Remembrance day. I'll be chatting about some of my Dad's wartime experiences, reading extracts from his diary and also playing some appropriate music for the day. Joining Griff & I will be Ian's Dad John and his Girfriend Michele (with one "L") Dad Chas. Both served in the forces in the 1950's and are now in their 90s! It will be a great show, no doubt

Listen online at www.rockradiouk.com/ between 5-7pm.

And on to the Friday joke, once more from our Twitter mate Robert Wilkinson. A great Dad joke (his Dad joke books are great stocking fillers for Xmas!

In a freak accident today, a photographer was killed when a giant slab of cheddar hit him.

To be fair, the people he was photographing did try to warn him.
